Miguel Vargas delivered the first “best shape of my life” declaration at SoxFest Live, less than three weeks before spring training even began.

Every team across the majors is selling hope to their fans: some are selling it in a more immediate fashion, in the form of active offseasons full of free-agent signings and trade acquisitions. Others,

Ahead of SoxFest Live, which begins Friday, general manager Chris Getz provided a look-ahead to the 2025 season throughout the organization.

The White Sox traded right-handed reliever Ron Marinaccio to the Padres on Friday afternoon. Read more about the move at MLB Trade Rumors.

The White Sox rebuild last time did not go according to plan. Chris Getz' however, is taking a different approach. Will it make a difference?

It may not have been the best timing, but at least the team revealed it is planning a 2005 White Sox reunion and a statue for Mark Buehrle.

Korey Lee has an interesting perspective regarding the current state of the White Sox. He was behind the plate for 113 games during a 2024 campaign where the South Siders finished 41-121, setting a Modern Era record (since 1901) for most defeats in a season.

CHICAGO — White Sox general manager Chris Getz mentioned the talent in the pipeline and insisted better days are coming. He just has one message for Chicago’s frustrated fans: Be patient. Considering the White Sox set a modern major league record for losses last season, that’s no simple request.

As it stands, Brooks Baldwin is projected to serve as Chicago's Opening Day shortstop. The 24-year-old made his big league debut in 2024 – just two years after he went in the 12th round of the 2022 MLB Draft – and he wound up batting .211 with a .566 OPS and 0.0 WAR in 33 games.

"Just like when you're building a business,'' Getz said, ''it's going to take time for you to be as productive as you'd like to be.”

He has appeared in each of the past three big league seasons, with all his MLB time coming as a member of the Yankees.

The White Sox have a goal to win games, just like Major League Baseball’s other 29 teams. Coming off a 121-loss season, though, their success in 2025 ultimately might not be measured in finishing .500 or even winning 70-to-75 times.
